Recommended Bars
Yangshuo really comes to life at night and is a really atmospheric place to be. With its small narrow streets the mixture of music floods the night air together with the smell of barbequed meat from Xingjiang Kebab stalls and the shouts of people having fun.
There is a range of bars and clubs to choose from including of course some KTV clubs that are endemic throughout China.
The below bars are recommended by the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat and are generally popular with Westerners.

Bar 98
A great pool area and balcony to sit on during the warm nights, these guys have a great range of drinks and even chill their beer glasses to keep your beer at the perfect temperature. The music tends to be alternative rock and instrumental but is not intrusive and plays in the background. See our Yangshuo map for precise location

Lizard Lounge
A great place to chill, sip on an ice cool beer and meet other travelers and climbers. These guys have got a great taste in music and with a climbing wall at the back what more could you possibly want? The bar is actually part of China Climb so if you’re interested in going climbing or doing an adventure activity you’ll be in the right place. Convienently located next to Karst Café and opposite MC Blues on Xianqian Road. See number 9 on the map of Yangshuo

Solo Bar
Another bar on Xianqian road this place has more of a Chinese bar feel to it. It is dark and atmospheric and they have OK deals on beers when you buy over a certain quantity. Don’t forget to ask for the dice game. A favorite in Chinese clubs and bars that is often used as a drinking game.

MC Blues
For the most potent cocktails in town check out MC Blues. A wide range of cocktails and spirits and a variety of music which is mainly somewhere between house and pop. You can find this place on Xianqian Road opposite Karst Café.
